HOOKING UP YOUR TV (BASIC CABLE TV CONNECTIONS) SMART CABLE TV HELP Y our Cable TV input into your home may be a single (75 ohm) cable, or a Converter Box installation. In either case the connection to the TV is very easy. Just put the threaded end of the cable signal to the TV's antenna plug and screw it down tight. Remember: Set the TV for the type signal you've just connected (see the “Tuner” section on page 11 of this manual.) BEGIN If your Cable TV signal is a single round cable (75 ohm) then you're ready to connect to the TV. If you have a Cable Converter Box: Connect the Cable TV signal to the Cable Signal IN(put) plug on the Converter..

When programmed by the viewer, a TV with SmartLock can respond to the content advisories and block program content that may be found objectionable (such as offensive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This is a great feature to censor the type of viewing children may watch. Over the next few pages you’ll learn how to block channels and certain rated programming. Below is a brief explanation of some terms and ratings you will find in the SmartLock feature. SmartLock offers various BLOCKING OPTION controls from which to choose: MASTER DISABLE: This is what might be called the "master switch" for SmartLock. When in the ON position, ALL blocking/censoring is turned off (or disabled). When in the OFF position, ALL blocking based on specifically blocked settings will take place. BLOCK UNRATED: ALL unrated programs based on the Movie Ratings or Parental (TV) Guidelines can be blocked if this feature is set to ON and the MASTER DISABLE feature is set to OFF. BLOCK NO RATINGS: ALL programming with NO content advisory data can be blocked if this feature is set to ON and the MASTER DISABLE feature is set to OFF. After an access code has been programmed, you can block up to 5 individual channels. But more than just blocking channels, certain blocking options exist which will block programming based on ratings patterned by the Motion Pictures Association of America and TV broadcasters. (See description of ratings on this page.)

UNDERSTANDING THE SMARTLOCK™ CONTROL (ACCESS CODE) T he SmartLock feature is an integrated circuit that receives and processes data sent by broadcasters, or other program providers, that contain program content advisories. When programmed by the viewer, a TV with SmartLock can respond to the content advisories and block program content that may be found objectionable (such as offensive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This is a great feature to censor the type of viewing children may watch. Over the next few pages you’ll learn how to block channels and get a better understanding of the rating terms for certain programming.

No Power No Picture No Sound Remote Does Not Work TV Displays Wrong Channel or No Channels Above 13 CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen, can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF. Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing. • Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert plug into outlet and push POWER button again. • Check that outlet is not on a wall switch. • Be sure fuse is not blown on AC Power strip if using one. • Check antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the TV's ANT/CABLE plug? • Check the TUNER control for CABLE or ANTENNA setting. • Check the VOLUME buttons. • Check the MUTE button on the remote control. • Check batteries. Replace with AAA Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries if necessary. • Clean the remote and the remote sensor window on the TV. • Check to be sure TV outlet is not on a wall switch. • Repeat channel selection. • Add desired channel numbers (CHANNEL control) into TV memory. • Check to be sure the TUNER control is set to the CABLE option. Cleaning and Care • To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning. • When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning. • Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool clear water. Use a clean dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces. • Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring of the cabinet finish. GLOSSARY TO TELEVISION TERMS Coaxial Cable • A single solid antenna wire normally matched with a metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or pushes) directly onto a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or VCR. Closed Caption • Broadcast standard which allows you to read the voice content of television programs on the TV screen. Designed to help the hearing impaired this feature uses onscreen "text boxes" to show dialogue and conversations while the TV program is in progress. Programming • The procedure of adding or deleting channel numbers into the Television’s memory circuits. In this way the Television “remembers’’ only the locally available or desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers. Remote Sensor Window • A window or opening found on the Television control panel through which infrared remote control command signals are received. Direct Audio/Video Inputs • Located on the rear of the TV these connectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input of audio and video signals. Designed for use with VCRs (or other accessories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound connection options. Setup Mode • Automatic feature control settings made by the TV. Designed for first time setup and use. Settings for signal connections (antenna or cable TV), plus channel program memory are held in the TV's memory (even if the set is unplugged and moved to a new location.) Identify • Method by which a remote control searches and finds an operating code for another product (such as a VCR or Cable Converter). Once the code has been "identified" then the TV remote can operate and send commands to the other product. Second Audio Program (SAP) • Another or additional audio channel provided for in the Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) broadcast standard. The most frequently proposed use for SAP is the simultaneous bilingual broadcast of TV program material. On Screen Displays (OSD) • Refers to the wording or messages generated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.). Menu • An onscreen listing of feature controls shown on the Television screen that are made available for user adjustments. Multichannel Television Sound (MTS) • The broadcast standard that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture. Status • Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the Television of on screen displays or information (rather than waiting for the displays to “time out” or automatically disappear from the screen). Twin Lead Wire • The more commonly used name for the two strand 300 Ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and outdoor antenna systems. In many cases this type of antenna wire requires an additional adapter (or balun) in order to connect to the 75 Ohm Input terminals designed into the more recent Televisions and VCRs.
